EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph taken on May 20, 1937, two intrepid climbers, C.E. Crawford and Passang Dawa, are seen making their way up the formidable Himalayan mountain, Chomolhari, near Phari Dzong in Bhutan. The mountain, standing tall at 24,000 feet, presents a daunting challenge even for the most experienced mountaineers. The image, captured by renowned British mountaineer F. Spencer Chapman, shows Crawford and Dawa climbing at an approximate altitude of 21,000 feet. This photograph holds significant historical importance as it documents the first successful ascent of Chomolhari's summit by any climbers. Chapman and Dawa achieved this remarkable feat on May 21, 1937, making them pioneers in the field of Himalayan mountaineering. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a visual account of the courage and determination required to conquer such a formidable peak. The mountain, known as the "Bride of the Gods" in Bhutanese mythology, is a popular destination for mountaineers from around the world. However, this photograph captures a moment in time when Chomolhari remained largely unexplored and untouched by the outside world. The image, with its stark contrast and dramatic lighting, transports us back to the early days of mountaineering, evoking a sense of awe and respect for the brave souls who dared to challenge the heights and reach for the skies. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of Himalayan mountaineering history, offering a unique insight into the past and the spirit of adventure that continues to inspire us today.
